Big Easy Justice | Illustration the 3rd "pencils"

8/31/2012

Whatsup eveyone, a good Friday to you all! This piece here is the 3rd installment in a series of concept illustrations I did based on the new television series on Spike TV, BIG EASY JUSTICE. These specific pieces were used as part of the advertising pitch for Plastic Palm Tree, a production company in Los Angeles.

This as you can see is the pencil stage of the illustration, which I later inked with brush & black india ink (be sure to keep your eyes on the lookout for said inked version, which I'll be posting in the coming days).

Hope you enjoy and I'll talk with you soon!

Shore Pix | Logo Design

8/29/2012

4 Comments

Whatsup everybody,

Here's a logo I've recently designed for the new company, SHORE PIX. Shore Pix is an establishment on the Eastern Shore of Maryland built around the digital preservation, as well as organization, of photographs new and old.

Over the course of my time designing logos I've really become quite found of these types of projects. They're challenging in ways that help your eye understand the subtitles of "design", font selection, color and so on, which can be a slight step outside the peripheral of that of your illustrative or fine art eye.

Hope you enjoy and I'll talk with you soon!

Here are a few more designs of Bo, a character for an upcoming comic strip I'll be illustrating. I will say the story is based on actual events with characters created around real people. So it'll be as funny as, well, you might assume it to be.

Have a great weekend & I'll talk with you next week!

Whatsup everybody, here's another panel from the proposed comic, HARD RAIN.

This shot here is a tasty mix of 1/4 high-speed chase, 3 quarters spitting gunfire, a pair of blown Goodyears and a sharp jerk of the wheel. Drop in a handful of cherry demons, shake well and serve chilled.

Hope you enjoy and I'll talk with you soon,
